Zodiac Fountain in Jaffa, Israel

This is the place to come and toss a coin and make a wish. The Zodiac Fountain in Kdumim Square is comprised of chalkstone sculptures of the 12 zodiac signs. It was designed and sculpted by Jaffa resident artists Varda Ghivoly and Ilan Gelber in 2011 at a location where a legendary magical wishing well once stood.

 

Ancient zodiac imagery has been unearthed by archaeologists in Israel over the years. And the Old City of Jaffa is teeming with references to this astrological theme. There’s a bridge that connects Peak Park to Kdumim Square with zodiac-themed plaques, and a stone mosaic of the zodiac signs at the entrance to the bridge. And many of Jaffa’s streets are named for zodiac symbols.
